Re: [w3c/webcomponents] CSS Modules (#759)

@AshleyScirra I think that idea is interesting but probably has a lot more discussion needed before it's ready. I see a number of problems with it as is. For example, what exactly is the Type? In some cases it seems to be an existing global object and others something new. Is SelectorAll going to be a new global? Would it have a purpose outside of this use case? And what happens if the global doesn't exist? If do `import something from "./foo.txt" as NotExists;` do I get a ReferenceError at parse time or what exactly?   What about the imported value, is it expected to always be an `instanceof` the Type? Does this preclude having named exports then?  What's the relation to this idea vs. some service worker approach?

Not trying to downplay your work, it's an interesting approach and I like the simplicity of using a symbol. Having observed what happened with previous attempts at defining loader hooks I would really hope browser vendors don't pass on a chance at implementing a simple and practical solution such as the CSS module idea from this issue in favor of waiting on something more generic, but much more complex.
